I won't dispute the importance of sleep, but what really rubs me the wrong way about this article is how it doesn't really even acknowledge sleep disorders. I'm biased; my life was semi-fucked for a while because it took ~20 years to stumble across a psychiatrist who thought to order a sleep study. But when I was researching sleep disorders, I found a lot of mention that several of them are believed to be hugely underdiagnosed (e.g. there are estimates that only ~20% of sleep apnea in Americans is diagnosed). I wonder how many other people out there are still stumbling along on their fourth or fifth antidepressant when CPAP is what would actually help.
